# NAME

CURLOPT_HSTSREADFUNCTION - read callback for HSTS hosts

# SYNOPSIS

~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>

struct curl_hstsentry {
  char *name;
  size_t namelen;
  unsigned int includeSubDomains:1;
  char expire[18]; /* YYYYMMDD HH:MM:SS [null-terminated] */
};

CURLSTScode hstsread(CURL *easy, struct curl_hstsentry *sts, void *clientp);

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HSTSREADFUNCTION, hstsread);
~~~

# DESCRIPTION

Pass a pointer to your callback function, as the prototype shows above.

This callback function gets called by libcurl repeatedly when it populates the
in-memory HSTS cache.

Set the *clientp* argument with the CURLOPT_HSTSREADDATA(3) option
or it is NULL.

When this callback is invoked, the *sts* pointer points to a populated
struct: Copy the hostname to *name* (no longer than *namelen*
bytes). Make it null-terminated. Set *includeSubDomains* to TRUE or
FALSE. Set *expire* to a date stamp or a zero length string for *forever*
(wrong date stamp format might cause the name to not get accepted)

The callback should return *CURLSTS_OK* if it returns a name and is
prepared to be called again (for another host) or *CURLSTS_DONE* if it has
no entry to return. It can also return *CURLSTS_FAIL* to signal
error. Returning *CURLSTS_FAIL* stops the transfer from being performed
and make *CURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK* get returned.

This option does not enable HSTS, you need to use CURLOPT_HSTS_CTRL(3) to
do that.

# DEFAULT

NULL - no callback.

# PROTOCOLS

This feature is only used for HTTP(S) transfer.

# EXAMPLE

~~~c
struct priv {
  void *custom;
};

static CURLSTScode hsts_cb(CURL *easy, struct curl_hstsentry *sts,
                           void *clientp)
{
  /* populate the struct as documented */
  return CURLSTS_OK;
}

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    struct priv my_stuff;
    CURLcode res;

    /* set HSTS read callback */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HSTSREADFUNCTION, hsts_cb);

    /* pass in suitable argument to the callback */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HSTSREADDATA, &my_stuff);

    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
  }
}
~~~

# AVAILABILITY

Added in 7.74.0

# RETURN VALUE

This returns CURLE_OK.
